Earnings Release • Feb 5, 2021

BOLOGNA AIRPORT: 80 THOUSAND PASSENGERS IN JANUARY A new Covid Test Point will be launched in the next few days and will be available to everyone

Bologna Airport starts 2021 still in the sign of pandemic outbreak. Total January's passengers did not reach 80 thousand (77,679), meaning a decrease of 89.0% on January 2020, when the effects of Covid-19 emergency had not struck yet.

In detail, domestic passengers were 35,804 (-75.8%), while international passengers reached 41,875 (-92.5%). Flight movements were 1,144 (-79.6%) and air freight recorded 2,980 tons, with an increase of 3.6% on January 2020.

Passenger traffic is therefore still on a standstill, with international flights heavily impacted by anti-Covid limitations (travel bans to some Countries, swabs, quarantine, etc.), apart from the market still pushed by foreign workers living in Italy. A single bright spot: air cargo performing in contrast with the trend, with encouraging growth signals, also resulting from the restarted exports of the territory local excellence (luxury cars, clothing, engineering) to Far East and Arab Countries. Flights delivering vaccines to our Region continue to operate as well.

Flight limitations imposed to fight pandemic have also deeply changed the ranking of January's "most popular" destinations where Catania, Casablanca and Tirana rank in the first three positions followed by Palermo, Istanbul, Amsterdam, Madrid, Lamezia, Brindisi and Cagliari.

Bologna Airport is always committed to ensuring passengers' health safety. At the end of January a paying rapid-antigen-test service was implemented for all passengers departing to Amsterdam (the Netherlands require the result of a swab made in the 4 hours before departure). In the next few days, a new Covid Test Point on payment, available to everybody, not only passengers, will be implemented.
